10 August 2015 Weather and Climate Report – Is this El Nino like 1997/1998? Or is it Weaker and Earlier?
Written by Sig Silber
In the near term, it looks like hot weather will be around in populated areas from Boston to Baltimore due to a high pressure system parked over the area. Historically that sort of weather can precipitate riots and kids opening water hydrants which can interfere with firefighting. I have made my first attempt at comparing the current El Nino with the Monster El Nino of 1997/1998. My analysis at this point is a work in progress but I am sharing what I have come up with and expect to expand the analysis for the August 17 Weather and Climate Report. All comments are welcome. Summer continues and there are signs that the Monsoon may become reinvigorated but impacting a smaller number of states above Arizona and New Mexico than usual. Forecasters are having a hard time pinning it down possibly due to a complex weather pattern that I will discuss in this report.
